32 PAGES / FC / T+$3.50“FINITE OPPENHEIMERS”An in-depth look at the first decade of the ongoing war inside Oppenheimer's brain. How far is too far behind enemy lines when the enemy is yourself?MY GOD... IT'S FULL OF OPPENHEIMERS!

Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.

When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews are to be at least 5 sentences long. It shows that a) you have at least read this week's pick and b) you have some unique insight into the comic.

Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.

I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.

Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.

If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

Naturally, this new system is new and it may be necessary to make changes as we go.

This is a weird issue, it's a good read but I'm not sure if it would make a good or bad first introduction to the series? The whole issue takes place inside the mind of one of the main characters. On the other hand, it could almost be seen as a self-contained story, but it doesn't one a full widescreen view of Manhattan Projects the book.

I enjoy this series every time it comes out. I'm big into history, so any inventive revisionist work (whether it be comics or any other medium) is gonna catch my eye. This issue was an interesting one. It was nice to have an entire issue focused on one character instead of the ten or so that normally occupy the story. Oppenheimer is probably the most interesting character in the book, so a look into his mind, especially through the eyes of the twin brother he killed, is a great different way to have a slow-down character issue.

Hickman is solid as always. This issue showed that he could do an issue of TMP without heavy historical influence it was a great character piece, and a decent journey issue showcasing both the imagination and insanity within Oppenheimer's mind. But I thought parts of it were too triply even for this series (mainly the headless yet still walking horse). I'm also a little confused when this journey and Civil War is taking place whether it's at the moment Joesph consumed his brother's soul or over the events of TMP so far does make a difference. I also don't know when we'll get the rest of this story since I think the next issue is aFermi-centric issue.

as for Browne I thought he was a serviceable fill-in for Pitarra. So much so that I accidentally put Pitarra before checking again to see that it wasn't him. I think that's thanks to Bellaire's colors keeping a consistent feel to this book showing that an artist change wouldn't be detrimental to the book. Speaking of Bellaire's colors that are still bright and really pop (especially since most of the backgrounds are bland).the art is very graphic especially the horse and the eyes scenes, and I like how with the eyes scene Browne kept the action off panel so I could really be surprised when it happened.

the Manhattan Projects #10 was a much different issue than the ones we've seen before, but it still manages to be both intriguing and satisfying.

I first got hooked on Hickman during his F4 run, thanks to some sound advice from posters here so when I had to pick something for Group, The Manhattan Projects seemed like a safe bet. Looking back now, I'm not so sure. This issue is probably not the best way to be introduced to the series. Don't get me wrong, the story is very imaginative, the stand in artist is remarkably dynamic and the overall execution is excellent and easy to follow for anyone to pick up. It's only really lacking in showcasing the usual ensemble format that defines the series. I knew that going in because issue #1 is free on Comixology, so I figured I'd check that out while waiting to read #10.

Needless to say, it's fucking awesome. I bought them all and was up to speed by the time #10 came out. The Manhattan Projects is a great series and Hickman is a Titan among men in the industry. Nick Pitarra's art is wonderful; his design is very charming and his storytelling is concise and evocative. I prefer Pitarra's cartoonish approach to gore over the more technically accurate approach that Ryan Browne uses but overall I really enjoyed Browne and I hope he sticks around to get a chance to depict the rest of the crew.

The Manhattan Projects is a must buy for anyone who likes historical fiction, science fiction, action, intrigue, gore and/ or violence. There's no sex yet but they just vowed to keep Kennedy buried in drugs and women so who knows what's in store?

I'm gonna cut through any potential, introductory fluff and just say that I was....underwhelmed by this. Before any lurkers/fellow reviewers take this the wrong way, I'll say that while it falls short of the series' usual level of quality, I still enjoyed it. It's still wild and interesting; it's just not as engaging as the last story arc. Ryan Browne takes over for Nick Pitarra on art this issue and his art isn't a bad replacement for Pitarra. Like the writing, it's not the usual level of quality readers have come to expect, but it works to be cool in its own right. I don't doubt that the Oppenheimer war will lead to some cool shit, but this issue was lacking in the "uumph" department.
